  Courtney Daley was my attorney and she handled my divorce. She did a great job and stayed in contact with me every step of the way. I feel like she went above and beyond with my case. I highly recommend using her!

  I will preface this post with a caveat... my situation has been evolving over the past 7 years so if you're looking for a quick resolution win, perhaps this message may not resonate with you. However, if you are a serious person and your children come before anything else in your life, you may have come to the right place. Mrs. Butler exemplifies what it means to be a star. Shows up at a moment's notice and delivers powerful results that you were not even expecting. What I witnessed today is reminiscent of Spassky vs. Fischer in 1972... I wasn't there but it means the same thing to me. The two parties are grandmasters, yet it's impossible to deny the results. This is as close as I'll come to giving respect to Mr. Sralla. I want to thank Mrs. Butler and her team at Bandoske & Butler with a special kudos to Nancy Ambriz for her bulldogian approach. Mrs. Butler has and always will be my Bobby Fischer... God bless y'all

  I hired Ms. S. Rodriguez in 2024 to assist with a guardianship case and custody-related issues. My experience was frustrating and disappointing. Throughout our engagement, I constantly had to follow up because she rarely replied or proactively reached out—often for weeks at a time. Ms. Rodriguez charged a flat rate and two before mediation she asked for an additional retainer & mediation fee . I had discused our contract being a flat fee. She tried an attempted to get another retainer out of me and after her acknowledgment that I was right and . This was contrary to what Iwe agreed to, and I felt pressured because our mediation was two days away so i paid a mediation fee outside our agreement. During mediation, I felt completely unrepresented. She did not advocate for me effectively, and I do not believe crucial evidence I provided was used. I provided key domestic violence/assault-related records, including information I believed should have been presented and addressed. I also do not understand how I was persuaded to mediate and proceed to guardianship given that my ex-husband had multiple arrests for domestic violence/abuse and had violated a protective order. The outcome left me feeling like the full facts were not considered. In summary, I am extremely dissatisfied with Ms. Rodriguez’s performance. I feel taken advantage of because I needed an attorney who would represent me, use the evidence I provided, and advocate for my position—not leave me with delays, fee surprises, and weak advocacy during a critical stage. It was defently retaliation towards me for not paying another retainer fee. Disclaimer: Not legal advice—this is my personal experience and opinion. Don’t Let Abuse Hide in Court Paperwork!!!

  If you are searching for the best divorce attorney in San Antonio who is strategic, prepared, and fearless in court, Sammantha Rodriguez at Bandoske & Butler is exactly who you want on your side. Sammantha successfully defended me against a highly aggressive Motion to Enforce filed by my ex spouse and her attorney from an overpriced Dallas law firm. The motion attempted to paint good faith efforts as contempt and tried to weaponize the court system over issues that had already been addressed, corrected, or resolved. They demanded financial penalties, reimbursement claims without proper documentation, and enforcement of interpretations that did not match the language of the Mediated Settlement Agreement or the Final Decree. They sought to frame normal post divorce disputes as willful violations, while ignoring the actual record. It was excessive, distorted, and designed to intimidate. Sammantha did not flinch. From our first strategy session through the courtroom appearance, she demonstrated exactly what people search for when they look up “top divorce attorney San Antonio,” “best family law lawyer near me,” or “defense against motion to enforce Texas.” She was calm under pressure, deeply knowledgeable of Texas family law, meticulous with documentation, and completely prepared. In court, she dismantled each allegation point by point. She relied on facts, timelines, financial records, and the actual language of the decree. She separated emotion from evidence and exposed inconsistencies without theatrics. Judges respect that kind of precision. What impressed me most was her combination of strength and restraint. She did not escalate conflict. She did not posture. She let the record speak. She anticipated arguments before they were made and neutralized them with clarity and confidence. If you are dealing with a high conflict divorce, false allegations, contempt claims, property division disputes, child support enforcement issues, or an ex spouse attempting to weaponize the legal system, Sammantha Rodriguez is a powerful advocate. She is responsive, strategic, organized, and courtroom ready. Family law cases in Bexar County can become emotionally charged and financially draining. Having an attorney who is steady, intelligent, and prepared makes all the difference. Sammantha protected my rights, defended the integrity of the court orders, and ensured that truth prevailed. Five stars without hesitation.

  Ashley Butler was the best. I went into the suit without a clue of what was being done, or needed to be done. She was very caring and explained everything I have her to several and will continue to do so.
